Hello

[Darwinian]

I'm not going to respond to any more posts in here, because it's time to move on to knew topics.

You see, that's just arrogant isn't it. If that's your only reason for refusing to respond to genuine posts then you have a lot to learn about forum etiquette and behaviour.

Not going too well is it :S

[Edward the Theist]

I'm not offended, I'm appropriately skeptical of your attitude. Your first impression failed, and not because you're a theist.

Okay, this is what I'm saying. You're apparently a moderator in this forum and you can ban me. Instead of challenging my assertion that atheists throw out God because they don't like the Church. You get on this high horse about being offended.

Two others have just posed some serious topics of discussion, but I'm not going to respond to them, because I'm expecting you to ban me at any moment, and I don't want to get into a conversation with them, only to have you terminate it. You don't like theists, or at least not theists like me, and you're heating up this string for no reason.

Let me say this, as well: I'm not here to impress you. I'm not here to make you like me, and I'm not applying for a job. The bottom line is, if you want discussion with theists, then you're going to have to get off this bit where every word I type is an insult, bad impression, wrong start, etc.

So, I'm going to go mow my lawn now. I'm not going to return to this thread. I'm out. If you want to fight with me, do it in my blog, or send me an e-mail.

If there was an award for most sensitive new member then I think it would have to go to you. You obviously have no experience in proper debate or even defending your position.

You come to an atheist forum, make some pretty inflammatory comments that show your ignorance of the subject and then when you are tackled about them, stomp off in a huff.

When you've grown up a bit you're quite welcome to come back and have another go

Darling, you have not offended me in the least. I've been giggling at your posts as I read them. I find them amusing.

My point was that you have come out swinging with an attitude that you will not respond based on silly stereotypes. I don't care if you make claims like "Atheists just hate the church" as long as you actually respond when challenged. We've already banned theists for insisting they can spew out garbage and then stick their fingers in their ears and go "lalalala, I can't hear you, you're an atheist, you obviously have no logic and hate meeeee."

This is exactly what you're doing, right here, right now. My first post was a warning to let you know we don't tolerate that shit, and if you want to last, then check that attitude at the door.

Fr0d0 and Tackattack have been here for some time because while they disagree they don't make terrible overly generalized and ridiculous statements about atheists and they respond to points honestly when they argue instead of running to another thread to stick their head in the sand. Obviously you can't respond to every person here, our atheists tend to dogpile, but at least an honest effort to discuss things makes you totes okay.

But that's not what you're doing. You've come here with this "I'm controversial, and because of that everyone is gonna hate me" when really we are calling you out for basically saying, "I came to talk to atheists, but I won't talk to atheists." You've put on this little tough guy attitude but are butthurt because we won't play your game.

Sorry buddy, this is an atheist forum, and while we welcome theists, it's our game and if you don't want to play you don't get to stay.

Aww, I wanna dance a little more. But I see he's scampered off, maybe I came on to hard? Fr0d0 usually likes it rough.

Anyway, if he comes back and continues in this vein, then he'll likely have dinner with the banhammer.

We don't ban people because we don't like them, or because we find them annoying. We ban people if they break the rules. It is really that simple.

What we don't like is people coming here and thinking they own the place; setting up conditions for responses, etc. The only place that is really allowed is in the Debate Area, and you need a well thought out set of rules / motions to use that.

I do my Queen I do!

I've seen this scenario before, and it usually ends in some seriously wacky beliefs emerging more ridiculous that something incredibly ridiculous. Thing is I always see promise of something sweet to begin with

I really hope you're not like that Edward the moved on.

You have me for that. Though for some reason you find me to be embarrising to dance with???

Can't imagine why?

Let's see if this chap can actually have a reasonable debate without all the stupid truck load of baseless assertions. Oh and rule making!

You know you can't be rational with religious people. If you could, there'd be no religious people.
